Money Saving apps<\/h2>\n

Now that our whole life revolves around our phones, it makes sense to base our money management system on our phones too. There are loads of apps now on the market to help keep track of your money. Money Dashboard<\/a> syncs with your different bank accounts and will show you in different categories where you spend your money, giving you an overall picture of your spending. The days of writing down and working out your spending are behind you, and to top it off, the app is free.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

Vouchers<\/h2>\n

There is a voucher code for nearly everything these days, so you need to make sure that you\u2019re using all of them! Vouchercodes<\/a> is a great website to find a code for restaurants, and use Wowcher to find vouchers for holidays or day trips. If you\u2019re a student, make sure you create a Unidays account, as then you\u2019ll have access to all the best student discount deals.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

Loyalty Cards<\/h2>\n

If you haven\u2019t got a loyalty card for your most visited shops, then you need to get one. Nearly every chain will offer a loyalty card, so you can collect points, which can result in free things in store. Get a loyalty card for your local supermarket to get discounts on food or your local coffee shop for free coffee, wherever it is, this is a great way to save money on things that you need. If you don\u2019t want to be dealing with loads of cards in your purse, download Stocard<\/a> onto your phone and have them all in one place in an app.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Sell, sell, sell!<\/h2>\n

It seems so simple, but these days people are too busy to think about selling some of their things. With apps and websites like eBay<\/a> and Depop<\/a>, you can sell pretty much everything quick and easily, you just have to take a photo of the item and upload it!<\/p>\n
